OPI Nail Lacquer Review

Love all the liquid sand nail polishes by OPI, but this one is my favourite because the colour is amazing!!! Fun, sparkly and a little different because of the harsh texture.

Took me sometime to get used to the texture. At first I found the texture a little bit weird but I think it suits edgy style girls. I just don't like it when it scratches my clothing, a bit annoying if you have long fine hair too when u stroke your hair with fingers. I know this is Matte finish but i tried with top coat (to prevent scratching my clothes!) and it looked like a very badly done manicure :P but Matte top coat still acceptable to me. And its harder to remove comparing to normal OPI ones but not as bad as glitter nail polish.

Loved this nail polish, you definitely need two coats but that's pretty much a given with most OPI nail polishes. I loved alpine snow because it is just slightly off white with kind of grey undertones, its wearable all year round and looks especially good during the summer with a tan!

I found this nail polish to be better than a few, but I also found that it chips quite easily with my work too. I would put it on in the morning and it'd be chipped by that night or the next morning. I work in the hospitality industry. I found the colour, however, very nice! It was a very gorgeous and vibrant colour.

I have about 9 different OPI colours at the moment and use them a lot. They have such a fantastic range of colours and are really easy to apply. I find that they do chip after about 2 days though which is a bit disappointing considering the price. My favourites are Can't find my czech book and Suzi's hungary again.

OPI is everywhere, from professional salons to a 13-year-old girl's bag. All the shades you can imagine (not like Essie) and the quality is always maintained. The price can be relatively hight at pharmacies but we have lots of deals online (and offline, I had an 8$ bottle from the warehouse) Although some products (such as the top coat) are not really my favourite, I still love all the OPI colours

I never understood what the deal with OPI polishes were until I used them.

Prior to using and owning them, I always thought most polishes are created equal - except for the price.

Then I picked up OPI's Bond Girls set and instantly fell in love. The colours are super vibrant, pigmented and easy to apply.

They last longer without chipping on my nails and are easy to remove (except for the glitter shades).

Now I am a convert to them and am slowly building up my OPI collection.

My fave brand of nail polish. Always such great, on trend colours. Always glides on with great coverage. Rarely chips. Great gloss shine once dry. Only down side - it's pricey. But worth dipping into the savings for.

When speaking in a general sense, OPI nail polishes are some of the highest quality polishes available. They are highly pigmented, last well and are available in some seriously eye catching shades. However, particular shades can be better or worse than others.

My current favourite OPI shade is My Favourite Ornament, a super sparkly gold glitter. It was a limited edition from the Mariah Carey range that was released just before Christmas last year. It is the most glittery gold I have come across and two coats covers your entire nail in glitter. It is certainly eye catching and attracts a lot of compliments. It looks wonderful as a full set or as a feature nail. What makes this polish stand out over other OPI glitter polishes is its lasting power. Unlike other OPI glitter polishes this one doesn't peel off in big chunks. It lasts really well and is simply a slight annoyance to remove.

Another stunning colour is from the latest Gwen Stefani collection and it is a matte black. It is very bold, beautiful and totally matte however this only lasts a single day. Although it doesn't chip, it fades to a dirty black/grey and needs extra coats daily to remain black. I was quite disappointed with this colour as that isn't something that you find out until you have purchased it.

Overall OPI has some stunning colours at are unlike any others. However, for standard colours I prefer Mavala polishes as they are more affordable, even more pigmented and equally as lovely.

My heading says "Posh" because that was my thought when I saw OPI polishes for the first time. They are presented in tasteful opulent wee bottles that look classy and fun. The range of colours available is unbelievable, ranging from demure beige and pearly pinks to sparkling, crackling and glittery shades that can be overwhelming when trying to choose!! It helps if you already have a shade in mind.

At the moment my new faves are a lovely plum/shimmery purple shade called "Meet me on the star ferry" and a delightful Peachy pink shade "Cozu-melted in the sun". Where do they get these names from? They are both gorgeous, fun to wear and go with everything.

I have found these polishes to be easy and smooth to apply with a generous brush and a rich thick vibrant formula. I apply 2 coats and this generally lasts a few days, with only minimal chipping. They are a good size and seem to last quite well without drying out and getting gloopy.
